What PSA Score sent you to a Urologist?

The first time I was diagnosed with PCa my PSA was 4.14 and rose to just below 8 in 6 months.

The second time I was diagnosed (after receiving focal treatment) my PSA rose from 2.55 to 3.41 in 6 months then continued to rise from 3.41 to 7.01 8 months later when I was diagnosed with recurrent Stage 3 PCa. It’s not just the value one needs to consider. It’s also how quickly the PSA continues to rise.

You may want to consider asking your urologist to do a PSA ISO blood test. It’s a better indicator of whether further investigation is needed.

Good luck to you!

So you had focal brachytherapy in 2020…is that right? And your Gleason score was 6 and PSA a relatively low 4.14. How many cores were positive and why, in your opinion, was there such a big diagnostic miss?
